The Japanese Grand Prix is underway at the famous Suzuka Circuit. Aiming for a Constructors’ Championships title, the Red Bull Racing suffered an early blow as Mexican driver Sergio Perez was involved in too much drama.
Starting on the grid at fifth place, the Japanese GP started with safety car being deployed early in Lap 2 of the race. After early contact in the race, Perez pitted for a new front wing. As the race progressed, the Mexican was again into limelight as he spun Kevin Magnussen in the 12th lap, forcing another pit for a new front wing.
While it looked like the game was over for the Red Bull Racing driver Sergio Perez, but around the 34th lap, the UK based company sent the Mexican back on the track after completing the five-second penalty. Fans in no time flooded Twitter with all reacting on Sergio Perez’s retirement and then return on the track.

While the drama around the track continued, it was two-time champion Max Verstappen who sealed the top place on the podium, whereas McLaren finished with a double podium. Additionally, the Red Bull Racing made it to back-to-back Constructor’s title.
